About me

I have a real passion for furniture redesign and upcycling and love to make something truly unique. 

With a background in design and boatbuilding, I have a variety of skills that I bring to my projects. 

From my workshop in Hove, Sussex I work to produce truly unique pieces of furniture. My style is bold with traditional influences.  

Older furniture is often better made to higher standards than todays’ mass produced furniture; using solid hardwoods and beautiful carpentry joints, often with carving and woodturning. 

These pieces stand the test of time and should not be sent to landfill just because they look drab or tired. I like to take time and care to prepare furniture and love to ensure my finish is of the highest standard possible.
